Chapter 2 Module and Service Descriptions

Frame Relay Service Modules

A single T1/E1 CESM card can provide standby redundancy for all active CESM cards of the same type in the shelf (1:N redundancy), with SRM.

CESM cards are supported by standards-based management tools, including Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP), Trivial File Transfer Protocol (TFTP) for configuration and statistics collection, and a command-line interface. Cisco WAN Manager also provides full graphical user interface (GUI) support for connection and equipment management.

1:N Redundancy for the CESM T1/E1

Redundancy for the AX-CESM-8T1 and AX-CESM-8E1 is available through the MGX-SRM-3T3/C.

1:N redundancy requires that the group contain one redundancy back card.

The redundancy back card must be the special R-RJ45 version (AX-R-RJ48-8T1-LM or AX-R-SMB-8E1-LM).

For information on installation requirements, refer to the Service Resource Module, page 2-12. For configuration requirements, see the “Service Resource Module” section on page 6-49.

For instructions on how to use the CiscoView application to configure redundancy, refer to the CiscoView user-documentation.

Card Combinations

Acard set has an AX-CESM-8T1 or AX-CESM-8E1 front card and one of the following back cards:

AX-RJ48-8T1-LM

AX-R-RJ48-8T1-LM (for redundancy support)

AX-RJ48-8E1-LM

AX-SMB-8E1-LM

AX-R-SMB-8E1-LM (for redundancy support)
